Thank you, Paul.
In your last paragraph you say it isn’t insulin resistance, because during effort a muscle still can use glucose. But during exercise, the taking of glucose by the muscles happens even in people who are insulin resistant anyway. That’s why T2 diabetics see a decrease in blood glucose during a walk after a meal, for instance. Their glucose will lower, even though they’re insulin resistant.
And isn’t it more than just a muscle problem? Glucose can be stored as fat in fat cells. This happens all the time in normal people, so that their glucose is kept below 100 mg/dL. And their cells that need glucose survive. Why would anyone need their glucose above that level?
I can keep my kitchen tidy with the food stored in the fridge and cupboards. It’s available. When I need it, I can open a door and get it.
Or keep the food on the floor, in the sink, on the table. The food is available, spread all over the place. But why would the kitchen need to be messy?
I’d like to see the science showing that all that glucose needs to be circulating in my blood, causing damage, when it could be safely stored in my adipocytes.
If something makes my body think it’s ok to keep high BG (messy kitchen), isn’t this unhealthy by definition?
Normal people have low BG. And they still function. A well regulated body knows where to find glucose When it needs it. Not a moment before.
